So I'm on the last row of the head (very top of head) the instructions after that say to "break and tie tightly".
So do I bind off or thread through the remaining LIVE stitches and pull off? (8 remain).

Thanks SO MUCH! I had an idea it was probably that, but going with ideas doesn't always turn out well for me, lol. I appreciate the speedy response as this is a gift for my niece who turns 1 next week!
